About this Activity

There is no better way to release the daily stress than with a leisurely voyage around the scenic San Francisco Bay! Your journey starts at Pier 39, where you will board the classic "Neptune' and cast away your worries. You will be living the life of luxury as you enjoy tastings of Northern California's finest wines and nibble on light snacks, all while taking in the beautiful San Francisco skyline. Or, if you'd rather, sit back with a perfectly balanced cocktail. At the end of the trip, you'll even get the chance to purchase a glass or bottle of your favorite wine, to remind you of this amazing evening.

We have been coming to SF for years and found this tour to be a novel, fun way to spend an afternoon on a sunny SF day. This tour offers an intimate environment and a friendly atmosphere. Melissa was very engaging and has a really nice variety of local/California wines. Great for couples.

I most definitely recommend the SF Bay Boat cruise, takes you under the Golden Gate Bridge, around Alcatraz and with the beautiful view and if the weather is sunny and beautiful, it is worth it!!

Make sure you have a jacket with you as the wind is quite strong, going but coming back was calm.

This was our favorite experience in San Francisco BY FAR! We went on a sunset wine tasting cruise, and it was BEAUTIFUL! We went under the old section of the Bay Bridge and got some wonderful pictures. Melissa and Kevin were awesome hosts and were very accommodating when we had to change our reservations to the next night. Melissa even got me some gluten-free crackers to have with the cheese. My husband chose to taste beer instead of wine, and he loved it!

Wow! Our last night in San Francisco and we were looking for something special...and we found it! The 1958 cruiser, the wine, the tunes, the captain, the wine hostess! These folks are awesome. There were about 20 people on our sunset cruise and the weather was fabulous. Money well spent! Under the GG bridge, past The Rock, under the Bay Bridge and fabulous views of the city. Stop reading and bookit!

I went on the cruise last night and it was AMAZING!!! The weather was perfect!!! It was 90 minutes. There was only six other passengers. There is bench seating along the windows with really comfy pillows for getting cozy. They have a first mate named Bobby who is super sweet and took pictures for everyone. We went under both bridges and around Alcatraz. We had five tastings. Melissa does the pouring. She does all the wine buying. She only buys from very small wineries. One of the wines came from Livermore, one from Santa Cruz. She has a choice of four reds and four whites on board plus a sparkling wine called Glitter. Everyone was greeted with a glass of Glitter when we boarded and then we chose the other four tastings. Melissa is very knowledgeable about all the wines since she does the buying. There was also crackers, bread, three cheeses and grapes. Kevin, the captain, periodically made announcements about different parts of the bay as we were passing the interesting stuff.

I bought four bottles of wine so I would say the wine offered was fabulous.

Absouletly AMAZING! Kevin and Melissa are fantastic hosts! I will definitely be telling everyone and anyone about this great experience I had last weekend. I did the 7:30pm sunset cruise. Yes it was windy and a little chilly, but it was so worth it! If I could give them 10 stars I would! Melissa and Kevin will be seeing me again soon! Cheers!

I've been 'Wine Tasting On the Bay' six or seven times and each time it's an absolutely wonderful experience! I've taken out of town visitors,local family and friends and each time was just terrific ... that's why I keep going again and again and again! Just go!!!!

I really loved this boat trip! I was in SF only for few days with my friends, so we did't have time to see the whole city, but this trip was on the top of the must-to-do list. I highly recommend it! The feeling of admiring this adorable city from the ocean side is amazing!

This was a really fun cruise. The crew was very knowledgeable about wine and the Captian pointed out cool points of interest as we cruised the bay. I would recommend the earlier cruises, night time is a bit chilly and the sights aren't as clear. But if you've seen them and you want to relax on a boat with some wine, this is it.

The staff on the boat are very friendly and Melissa in particular is a great host! The concept of having some wine whilst taking in the views of the bay is great. The cheese and crackers is a nice touch to nibble on in between tasting different wines. I liked that the trip was not rushed and when we arrived back at the docks the staff all sat down with us and we carried on drinking the wine for about another hour whilst chatting away and leaving feeling merry! ;-)

My husband and I were visiting San Francisco for the first time and stumbled upon this activity and decided to give it a try. It was by far the most fun thing we did while in the city! The whine selection was pretty good, and they also have beer sampling for all the non-whine drinkers out there. The owners were so nice and accommodating. The views from the tour were phenomenal. We didn't have time for Alcatraz, but we sailed by it on the tour so at least we got to see it. We will definitely be back when we visit the city again!

I have taken two tours with Vimbly and am looking forward to many more in the future! They have a wide variety of opportunities, many of which I would never have thought of doing. Both tours that I attended were well organized, interesting, and fun. I look to Vimbly for ideas and activities when I want to find something fun to do.

Used Vimbly 3 times now: booked a Knife Skills class at Institute of Culinary Education, booked tickets to Improvised Shakespeare (HOW DID THEY EVEN GET ACCESS TO THESE???), and booked tickets to an Improv show at the Upright Citizen's Brigade. Really simple and efficient way to find something to do and book it right away without ever having to pick up a phone. I like that you can search by date and also category.

As far as a rating, I'd absolutely give your site a 10. It's easy to use, easy to find whats upcoming, unambiguous and concise. It's something my mother could use without calling me seven times with questions. I've already pointed some friends to the site, and you can be sure I'll be using it in the future.

I already have recommended it to a friend! Several in fact. The site is such a good idea and I love how the people at Church Street knew we were coming and treated us like their own customers and not coupon redeemers. My girlfriend and I will definitely be going back there and are already looking on your site for what to do next weekend.

Evan W.

Easily one of the best dates I've been on, and I have Vimbly to thank for the idea. Planning to use it again while I'm in the city for the next month, and already reminded my coworkers about it.
